The time capsule : A variety of guest molecules are stably trapped in networked coordination capsules up to 200 °C, which is above the boiling points of the guests. Networked capsules provide a distinctly different environment in the crystal form relative to that of pores, and are suitable for storing reactive molecules: Cyclopentadiene remains a monomer within the capsule even after heating, whereas dimerization through a Diels–Alder reaction takes place within the pore.
